Liu Ruoxi’s body crouched slightly, her eyes cold and sharp, “This path is impassable.

But the array hub in the castle has been destroyed.

I assure you I won’t repair the array to obstruct your departure from the Stone Castle.”

Liu Ruoxi wasn’t a reckless person.

Although her blood surged with excitement and her battle intent was high, she could restrain her impulses and avoid fights she was not confident in winning.

After all, the opponent had a cultivation of Seventh Rank, one rank higher than hers.

Chu Xisheng had tasked her with guarding their retreat route.

If a peaceful resolution could be achieved, it would be the best outcome.

Zhu Xueyi froze for a moment upon hearing this, then scoffed in disbelief, “Are you really planning to block me?”

Liu Ruoxi took a deep breath, and the veins on her right hand holding the blade became visible, “Sir, please retreat—”

Before she finished speaking, she caught a whiff of a bloody wind.

A blood-colored sword shadow suddenly charged at her.

By the time Liu Ruoxi reacted, the sword blade was already less than three feet from her.

At this moment, a fierce Sword Intent struck her forehead, trying to smash her brain to pieces.

Liu Ruoxi’s pupils widened, instinctively drawing her blade from its sheath.

She thought she was unlikely to block this sword and might die here.

But in the next instant, she heard a crisp “ding.”

Her blade had precisely cut Zhu Xueyi’s thin Blood Sword.

The opponent’s immense power pushed Liu Ruoxi back several meters.

Yet her lower body remained firm, her steps steady as a rock.

Zhu Xueyi’s strength was indeed much greater than hers, but he specialized in movement techniques, taking a path of agility and lightness, which didn’t allow him to crush her with sheer force.

Liu Ruoxi even had enough strength left to hurl the Great Blazing Jade Talisman given by Chu Xisheng forward.

With a tremendous explosion, crimson flames burst out at the corridor entrance, countless tongues of fire sweeping in all directions, covering an area of ten feet, scorching everything.

Liu Ruoxi swiftly retreated, avoiding the flames and drawing another blade from her waist at the same time.

The pair of “Mandarin Duck Star Iron Sabers” in her hands had been specially matched for her by Chu Xisheng.

After the Hall Master had cleared the canal’s debts last year, he no longer sold the seized magic artifacts.

Four of them were on her, said to be “on loan.” What kind of Vice Altar Master lacks a few handy magic artifacts?

Chu Xisheng had even spent eight thousand taels of Demon Silver to get her a pair of Seventh-Rank Upper Tier Twin Blades.

Liu Ruoxi was very grateful to Chu Xisheng, feeling she had no way to repay him.

But she still didn’t understand why Chu Xisheng placed these magic artifacts with someone of her average talent.

Nor could she comprehend why Chu Xisheng matched her with a pair of Twin Blades.

Liu Ruoxi had been accustomed to using her right hand since childhood, rarely using her left arm.

But at this moment, Liu Ruoxi had a feeling that her left hand could also wield a blade, as nimble as her right!

Just as Liu Ruoxi drew her blade, Zhu Xueyi’s figure had already emerged from the towering flames.

His thin sword swept out, weaving a web of blood-colored, icy blades in the air.

Liu Ruoxi immediately reacted, her twin blades swung not only as fast as lightning but also as enduring as the sun and moon crossing the sky, eternal and unbreakable.

Zhu Xueyi’s sword was fast and agile to the extreme, far exceeding the limits of human eyesight, his figure appeared ghostly and left a trail of afterimages.

Liu Ruoxi’s pair of “Mandarin Duck Star Iron Sabers,” seemed like the sun and moon suspended in the sky, enduring and unyielding, never falling.

In the span of ten breaths, the two exchanged blows over a hundred sixty times, erupting countless sparks between them.

Zhu Xueyi’s shattered Sword Qi shot in all directions, creating numerous shallow holes in the surrounding walls.

Zhu Xueyi grew increasingly surprised.

The twin blades of the girl before him created a defense without flaws.

Not until the one hundred sixty-seventh strike did Zhu Xueyi find an opening, his thin Blood Sword slipped through the curtain of blades, leaving a blood mark on Liu Ruoxi’s shoulder.

Liu Ruoxi had to take rapid steps backward, retreating to the corner, simultaneously slicing off a piece of flesh from her shoulder.

Zhu Xueyi’s sword was laced with poison, and the flesh immediately emitted a foul stench, melting into a thick fluid.

“Impressive!”

Zhu Xueyi’s eyes gleamed with a fierce interest and killing intent, “That’s the third layer of the Hand of Sun and Moon!

The third layer of the Time Instant Shadow Body!

The third layer of the Spirit Communication Heart!

I didn’t expect to encounter a Qingyun’s genius today!”

He pursued relentlessly, giving Liu Ruoxi no time to breathe.

Zhu Xueyi’s sword grew more cunning and vicious, like blood-colored venomous snakes!

—He discovered that the girl before him had not only high talent but also exceptional comprehension.

Her Chasing Wind Saber, which was at the Fourth Layer at the beginning of the fight, had already touched the threshold of the Fifth Layer by now.

Her combat talent was equally astonishing, the Twin Blades were incredibly fast, like the sun and moon traversing the sky!

Her movement technique grew swifter, like a shadow or lightning, catching up with time itself!

This girl instinctively knew how to fight, the Third-tier Spirit Communication Heart allowed her to predict his every move.

She was not just a Qingyun List level young genius!

Zhu Xueyi estimated her ranking to be within the top seventy-five!

Far surpassing the Coastal Twin Tigers and Zhoou Liangchen and others.

Based purely on cultivation talent and combat prowess, she far exceeded himself, who was of Seventh Rank cultivation, yet ranked only eighty-sixth on the Qingyun List, the so-called “Heavenly Pride.”

Zhu Xueyi had an excellent mindset and felt no envy.

In this world, there were far too many people with greater talent than his; where could he find time to be jealous?
